MANCHESTER, Dec. 14.-The Guardian says:
The market was very firm. Inquiry is mode
rate in most departments, but good business
might be done in shipping yarns il sellers were
a little easier to be dealt with Yesterday ex-
perence confirms the impression in the dis
| tributing market that prices not likely to
make even small advance until diminished
| supplies poke them up The present position
| OF manufacturers is unenviable. Yarns, even
where they are easiest are higher than they
were three months ago, while goods are rarely
| higher, and in few cases are actually lower.
An opinion, based on the disbelief in the estl-
mates OF the American cotton crop, prevail that
the present prices of cotton, especially of Ameri-
| can, are too high Buyers refrain, therefore,
| from making extensive engagements. There is
| ldit Inquiry lOI export yarns, ESPECIALLY lOI
lower counts. Business for China, Japan and
| India is only important where spinners are easy.
| Cloth sales have been light. Wide shirttings
are strong and hardening. Heavy goods are
quiet"

Green & Co.'S report on cotton futures says:
| The market has beeu little nervous to-day,
| but on the whole had considerable strength, and
| made quite an advance along the entire line
| At first n alters looked little toppy, and EVIL
| dences of long cotton splitting were not want
| ing, with something of the same kind notice
| able throughout the season, but the demand
| came out fully, and took the cost up in spite of
| resistance. Buying was largely on New Orleans
| account, and burst out suddenly about the time
| OF the ten-point advance al the latter place.
| With the buoyancy additionally stimulated by
| a light run of receipts, and more or less cheer
| full accounts from Liverpool, some lO@l2 points
advance were uldQe NlUl a Sildll TedcJlOu lTOul
| the highest, but the close was steady"
